Evening program to feature Scandinavian film




Get set for a film whose cast includes Ole and Lena, and whose content is sneaky, smårolig
humor! Award-winning Swedish filmmaker Stefan Quinth returns to North House Folk School Friday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. to show Scandinavian
American Humor: More than Ole & Lena.
It’s a light-hearted educational exploration of what moves Minnesota’s Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish Americans to at least smile.

Last October Quinth and co-producer William Beyer brought to North House a very well-received program drawn from the first film in their Pretty Much 100%
Scandinavian
series. They return with a 50-minute program illustrated with film clips from Saga II,
the second in the series, which includes appearances by Rose Arrowsmith DeCoux and Art Bjorngjeld, two North Shore residents.

The presentation is sponsored by North House Folk School and begins at 7 p.m. at North House in Grand Marais. Suggested donation is $5 per person, or $15 for families.
